The Casino Mine project is a proposed copper, silver, gold, and molybdenum mine approximately 150 km north-east of Carmacks. In 2016, the Executive Committee determined that this proposed project requires a review of a panel of the board. To commence a review of a panel of the board, the proponent (Casino Mining Corporation) must submit an Environmental and Socio-economic Effects Statement (its project proposal) to the Executive Committee.
Once an Environmental and Socio-economic Effects Statement is submitted by the Casino Mining Corporation, the Executive Committee will review the statement to ensure that it complies with the guidelines set out by the Executive Committee. Should the Executive Committee be satisfied that the statement conforms with the guidelines, it will:
- Select panel members and designate a chairperson;
- Establish the terms of reference for a review of the Casino Mine project by a panel of the board; and
- Publish notice of the establishment of the panel and its terms of reference.
The panel process includes multiple opportunities for both the public and participants to make written or oral representation. The process for a review by a panel of the board can be found here.
